‘Afraid’ was a strong word and one he honestly hated, but it was fine. Though he looked at the thing with disdain, he couldn’t help by return his gaze to the woman chained to him and smile as she patted the thing and then invited it to join them. Aeolus couldn’t say it was a bad plan if he was honest. This creature looked like it would give his life to please the woman and that was fine. He didn’t mind it after thinking that way.
Still, she continued with a sort of… melancholy tone to her voice that had seemed to be upbeat since he’d met her. He stared at her thoughtfully for a moment before looking back up at the spider and sighing heavily. Opening his mouth to speak, he was cut off as her chipper tone broke the silence of the maze, bringing back that excited voice of hers. “Hmmm…” He hummed softly as he looked ahead of them. With only one way to go, he continued forward, keeping pace with her.
”It isn’t that I am afraid of spiders… We all must do what we have to in order to survive and enjoy the life that was given to us, do we not?” He asked in a rather thoughtful tone of his own. ”Some people may hate us or be disgusted or even fear us, but that too is a part of life. Living up to the norms of society is all arbitrary anyway, isn’t it? Each society is different, in its own ways.” He cast a smile down to her and reached up to pat her head gently with his palm. ”Forgive me. The thought of having to kill it and getting blood all over your lovely outfit was what disgusted me the most.” He said with a laugh as he continued to lead the way.
When they came to another split in the path, this time, there were three choices. On instinct, he chose the leftmost path which led them up a little and then down, around a few other twists and turns before coming to yet another crossing. He chose left again and then and then left for the third time. Humming a rather light tune as they walked, the unicorn did his best to keep his senses on high alert for any other danger. Hopefully, their spider friend would help tell them if there was. Ah, but yet another fork in the road… ”Shall we try right this time, my dear?” He asked his companion gently.
